Advisability of Employing Expert Engi neer for Street Paving is Pointed Out by Chamber of Commerce Secre tary. First Contract for Paving $300,000 Not Three is Times That R. B. FULTON SPEAKS TO HARTSVILLE POST MAKES ABLE ADDRESS FOLLOW ED BY GREAT STEP ON PART OF POST. By Walter J. Johnson Finding some question still per sists, as u tile advisability of em ploying Gilbert (’. White, of Durham, X. ('.. as consulting engineer on the projected paving for Florence, anoth er article has been denmed advisab-e dealing entirely with figures which show specifically that the employ ment of Mr. White, not only means the insurance of the city against im position or waste on the paving con tract. but that his commission is a little more than half of what he ac tually w f oult! save the city. These figures and the deductions are inde pendent of anv assistance, or influ ence of Mr. White out are preemed simply, and solely in the weltare. and upbui ding of Florence. With Mr. White as engineer. Mount Olive, N. C.. let her paving contract at $3.00; FarmviUe, N. C'., at $2.67; Henderson, N C at $2.69; Lexington N C, at $2.78; Lenoir county N C. at $2.95; Beaufort county N U, at $3.10. In the same period, without Mr. White as engineer, Goldsboro, N C., let her paving contract at $3.25; Nor folk. Va.. $2.93; Clinton. N C.. at $3.18; Tarboro, N C, at $2.9t: Nor folk, Va.. at 3.39, and Ralr.igh, N.C. at $>3.22. The first six cities quoted, obtain ed an aggregate contract price of $17.19. for their paving, or an aver age of $2,866 per square yard. The second six cities obtained an aggre gate price of $18.95, or an average of $3.16 per square yard. Figures on the second six cities show they paid JtO cents per square -gard more for their paving, than the first six cities. This is 10.5 per cent more than the price paid by those cities w-ith Mr. White. Citing another instance. April 22 oi this year, Rock Hill. S. C.. let a pav ing contract with Mr. White as en gineer. at $3.39. April 14, just eight days before, Salisbury, N. C„ let her contract at $3.75. Sa isbury paid 36 cents per square ya>d mo^e than Rock Hill; this is 10.6 per cent more than Rock Hill paid. February 17, High Point. N. C.. paid $4.06 for her paving, or 67 cents per square yard more than Rock Hill. This is almost 20 per cent higher. One cannot claim that the prices "just happened." There is a reason— just the same reason that Florida, New York. Massachusetts, Michigan. California, and other state, which i have good roads, have found in hav- ! ing an expert constructing engineer. The reason is that bidders for the ! contracts in those cities, which uad such a consulting engineer as Mr White, knew that they had to meet a guaranteed price which a recog- 1 nized expert bad already named to Jibe citv whose job they were living to land. The result is that they trim med their prices Had the city not had such expert advice, the bidders would have felt assured there was no out to tel! the officials that the price was tco high. . Afctyor Gilbert has stated that the first contract here for paving will be for $>00,000. Parties who are multi plying the $.300,000 paving item of the issue by three and figuring six pet cent of the multiplicand as $51,000 which Mr. White would receive are in enor. Uis contract here is good for only $18,000, after which the city is at liberty to procure another en gineer if the citizens find he is not worth the money. This compensation will not be paid upon the voting of the bond issue but will cover a per iod of a year, at least. Figuring on the basis of the con tract being $300,000, according to the records given by other cities, Mr. White would save Florence at least- ten per cent on their contract price. This would mean $30,000. After pay ing him $18,000, the city would still be $12,000 to- the good. Out of tho $18,000 Mr. White must pay all his expenses, pay fer all his help here, including laboratory, resident engi neer, other engineers, jnspecto/^ and, such other corps as th£ city may de termine is necessary to handle prop erly the work. Directors of the chamber of com merce who have investigated Mte pro position from all angles, believco that Mr. White would actually save Floi- enee far more than the price of his salary. They believe further that sound business judgment dictates the employment of such a reputable en- gineed. who, jealous of his reputation would look after the interests of the city as after his own. Even after all the trouble of pub-, lishing and explaining the contract between Mr. White and the city, some persons are claiming now that this contract was made four yehra ago. It Is dated (January 15. 1919, which is the exact date on which it was made. nor R. B. Fulton, Esq. of the local bar made a most able address to the Hartsville Post American Legion at a special meeting and banquet of the Post held last Friday, evening at which the members of the Post bad invited their 'lady friends. The other speaker of the evening was Hon. D. R. Coker who is an honorary member of the Hartsville Post. At the meeting Friday evening the members decided to build a Com munity House in Hatsville as u me morial to their fallen comrads.
